in many smaller niches there are extremely few really good sites with good content that convert. the competition for the owners of these sites to attract webmasters is not very fierce. plus there will always be program owners who prefer to go for the quick buck, so there's enough motivation for shaving around. what may be true for you and your program doesn't have to be the same for every program out there.

if reverse shaving is happening, then someone gets shaved too. or do you think the program pays that sale out of pocket to the good affiliate? nah itll take it away from a smaller, unimportant webmaster. so if you have proof for reverse shaving, you have proof for shaving too.

the good ole saying...what would you say if you make 10 sales/day on average with site A from program B every day on 3000 daily uniques you send to it, the same targeted traffic from one site continuously. every day is between 5-15 sales. but each month in the first two weeks there are suddenly 4-5 consecutive days where you make 0 sales. not a single one. this happens every single month. would you consider that just a dry period?
i have no proof of shaving at all, this is just a hypothetical example
